Dina Manzo is back on The Real Housewives Of New Jersey and she’s eager to offer Teresa Giudice her full support during a very difficult time. But is Dina really as good of a friend as her Twitter posts suggest? Or is she simply hoping to gain a more important role on RHONJ?

As Teresa Giudice is forced to deal with a high-profile fraud case and her father-in-law’s death, she’s grateful to have Dina Manzo by her side. But some of the reality star’s Facebook fans feel that she should think twice before relying on Dina. Apparently, the returning RHONJ cast member is more interested in achieving her own ends than actually being a supportive friend.

According to an insider for Radar Online, Dina’s friendship with Teresa is nothing more than a calculated career move. “Teresa has been warned by their mutual friends to be very careful as far as Dina is concerned because she has ulterior motives…[Namely] using Teresa to become a central part of the show, and replacing her sister Caroline as the voice of reason among the cast.”

The source added that Teresa was not likely to abide by this advice, as she is, by nature, a trusting person. Try as she might, the reality star simply does not “want to believe that Dina would use her, or betray her trust in any way.”

Do you think Dina Manzo could be using Teresa Giudice in hopes of advancing her reality television career? Will the ploy prove successful? We know you have an opinion and we want to hear it, so feel free to sound off in the comments section below!
